Dear Players,

Ten years ago, after publishing “Cities & Knights®,” I was asked if there would be a third expansion of the Basic Game. I answered in the negative at that time, because I thought that all wishes to experience more in had been fulfilled. With “Seafarers®,” the game was extended spatially, and “Cities & Knights” provided it with greater depth. At the beginning of 2006 we started a survey in the Catan Online World where, among other things, we asked the citizens of this virtual game world which games they would want the most. “Variants of the Basic Game” appeared at the very top of the wish list. This vote encouraged me to consolidate and further develop ideas for interesting variants and expansions that had piled up in my drawer during the past 10 years. The outcome is what you are holding in your hands now! A Campaign with 5 scenarios opens up entirely new challenges and possibilities to experience the Basic Game in a new fashion, and well-established variants offer alternatives to adapt the game to one’s own needs. Hence, the third expansion is all about “Variants of the Basic Game,” and in the last two scenarios of the Campaign it also offers a game depth that almost comes up to the standard of “Cities & Knights.” It is impossible to satisfactorily resolve an expansion of this scope all by oneself. I therefore want to sincerely thank all those fellow settlers mentioned under “Rule Testing and Advice” at the end of this instruction, for their valuable help. I wish you lots of fun with Traders & Barbarians! — , February 2007 You can find further information on the Internet at: www.catan.com www.mayfairgames.com www.universityofcatan.com www.klausteuber.com

For any scenario, the normal number of victory points required for victory should be increased by one point. 6 Using Trade Tokens to Take Actions On your turn, you may pay 1 or 2 trade tokens and take one of these actions: • Action “Forced Trade:” You draw 2 random cards from your opponent’s hand; in exchange, you give your opponent 2 cards of your choice from your own hand. If either player only has 1 card, you may only exchange 1 card. • Action “Move Robber:” You may move the robber to the desert hex. If your victory point total is less than or equal to your opponent’s total, you must pay 1 trade token to take an action. Otherwise, an action costs you 2 trade tokens.

If you have the most coins, you are the Wealthiest Settler, which earns you a Special Victory Point. But be careful! If you squander your coins, you could easily become a Poor Settler and thus lose 2 victory points.

Placing a Camel During play, 3 different caravans develop and extend—each starts at the oasis and consists of a string of camels. • You must always place a camel on a path. That path may not already be occupied by another camel, but it may be occupied by a road. You may also build a road on a path occupied by a camel. Place any road and camel on the same path side by side. • Each camel has a “front” end (the head). • You must place the first camel of a caravan on a path directly pointed to by one of the 3 arrows on the oasis hex (see example 1)—the camel’s front must point away from that arrow. Each caravan’s first camel starts from a different arrow. Example 1: The first camel must be placed. There are 3 paths on which it may be placed. Voting Round During a voting round, you get to bid once to determine how many votes you have to influence the placement of a camel. Bidding starts with the player who just finished his turn, and proceeds in a clockwise direction. You bid by placing wool and grain resource cards face up in front of yourself. Only players who have bid at least one card can negotiate with each other to determine where to place the camel. • You have one vote for each card that you bid. • If you have more votes than all of the other players combined, you choose where to place the camel. • Otherwise, if 2 or more players combined have the majority of the votes and they agree on the placement of the camel, they place the camel accordingly. • Otherwise (no agreement is reached), the player who has the most votes chooses where to place the camel (even if • You must place each of the second and latter camels of this player is in the minority of total). a caravan on a path in such a way that the new camel is • Otherwise (there is no “most votes” player), the player adjacent to the “front” of the last previously placed camel who just finished his turn chooses where to place the in its caravan (see example).

A settlement of player “White” and 2 settlements of player “Blue” are each worth 1 additional victory point—because each is located between two camels. Moreover, 3 roads of player “Blue” and one road of player “White” count double for Longest Road. There are currently 6 paths on which a camel can be placed.

14 ggg BARBARIAN ATTACK ggg Catan’s wealth doesn’t go unnoticed. Fearsome barbar- ians, eager for booty, are landing on the coasts of Catan, spreading fear and terror. The fun is over—the peaceful times are history! One never knows where the barbarians will strike. There are only a few initial raiders, but their numbers increase rapidly. At first they only ruin resource production. But as their strength grows, they threaten to besiege settlements and cities—with devastating conse- quences. But Catanians stand by each other. They respond by training Knights to send into battle—but will they be strong enough? Duration of the Game: ...... about 60-90 minutes Additional Components: • Place the inner terrain hexes: Randomly place the fol- lowing hexes in the white inner area: 1 forest, 1 pasture, 1 hills, 2 mountains, and 2 fields. One forest hex is not used. • Placing number tokens: After placing the hexes, place the number tokens following the pattern shown below. • Take the 6 knights of your color. • Place a Barbarian on the hex with the “2” number token and on the hex with the “12.” The remaining Barbarians are placed beside the game board. • Use the new 26 Development Cards that this expansion provides for this scenario. Do not use any of the basic Settlers game Development Cards. • Do not use the Special Card “Largest Army.” • Do not use the robber.

g WHAT IT IS ABOUT Eager for booty, the barbarians are landing on the shores of Catan. At first, their mere presence spreads fear and terror. But as more and more barbarians cross the ocean, they begin to occupy coastal hexes and block resource production. The barbarians even threaten to capture coastal settlements and cities. To survive, the Catanians must prepare their knights at the Castle and—demonstrating never before seen unity—send them into battle against the barbarian hordes. g SPECIAL PREPARATION • Place the outer terrain hexes: First, place the desert hex and the castle hex as shown at the top of the next column. Randomly place the following hexes in the gray outer circle: 2 forest, 2 hills, 3 pasture, 1 mountains, and 2 fields. These hexes are “coastal hexes.”

If this coastal hex already has 3 barbar- ians, do not place a barbarian (do not re-roll the dice). • Roll the dice until you get a result that is not a “7” and is not the same as the first dice roll result. Then use this dice roll result to place a barbarian as outlined in step 1. • Roll the dice until you get a result that is not a “7” and is not the same as either of the first two dice roll results. Then use this dice roll result to place a barbarian as outlined in step 1. b) Coastal hex is conquered As soon as you have placed 3 barbarians on a coastal hex, turn that hex’s number token face down. • This “conquered hex” no longer produces resources when you roll its number.

However, none of your knights can end its movement on a path occupied by another knight (yours or another player’s). • After you finish moving your knights, none of them may be on a path adjacent to the castle hex. 5. Expel the barbarians a) Checking for victories At the end of your turn, after moving your knights, check each coastal hex to see if a victory occurs in that hex. Start checking with the coastal hex numbered “4” (which is to the left of the castle hex) and continue in clockwise direction until all of the coastal hexes are checked. c) Reconquered coastal hexes For a given hex, victory occurs if there is at least 1 barbarian When a victory occurs at a conquered coastal hex, turn the on the hex and there are more knights on the hex’s 6 adjacent hex’s number token face up and turn upright any adjacent paths than barbarians on the hex. conquered settlements and cities. The hex can once again produce resources, and those settlements/cities are once again fully functional (e.g., worth victory points).

On your turn, Additional Components: you first move your own knight(s) and then you may move the Foreign Knight. Once on the board, the Foreign Knight remains on the board; he is never removed after a victory. 2. When you build a settlement of your own and then a set- tlement for a neutral player, the barbarians attack twice— first for your settlement, then for the neutral settlement. 3. Since there is no robber, you may pay trade tokens to move a barbarian. If your victory point total is less than or equal to your opponent’s total, you must pay 1 trade token. Otherwise, it costs you 2 trade tokens. 4. After a victory, if required use a default dice roll of “3” for the Foreign Knight. 5. As compensation for removing a knight, you receive 2 gold and a trade token instead of 3 gold. For combination with “Catan Event Cards:” There are no Knight Cards and no robber in this scenario. Thus, the following events have different meanings: • Robber Attacks!: The player whose turn it is may draw one random Resource Card from a player of his choice. In addition, each player who has more than 7 Resource Cards must select half (rounded down) of his Resource Cards and return them to the bank. • Robber Flees: Since there is no robber, this event does not take place. • Conflict: If one player alone owns the most knights on the board, he takes a random resource card from a player of his choice. When combined with the variant “Harbormaster,” this scenario should be played until one player reaches 13 victory points during his turn. 19 g WHAT IT IS ABOUT g SPECIAL PREPARATION The Castle is being restored, so it will shine in new splendor. • First, assemble the frame.

There are three new terrain hexes that serve as “trade • Do not place number tokens on the 3 trade hexes— hexes” for the transport of commodities. remove the “2” and the “12” number tokens from play. Place the remaining number tokens as specified in the set-up of the basic Settlers game, leaving out token “2” (B) and token “12” (H). When placing the number tokens, skip the trade hexes. • Arrange the commodity tokens into 3 stacks sorted by the pictures on their backs (castle, quarry, glassworks). Shuffle each stack and place it with the backs facing up (showing the building picture) beside the corresponding trade hex (see arrows in the illustration below).

• You receive the set of 5 Baggage Train Cards whose frame colors match your color. Stack the cards face down, sorted so that that the backs of the cards are in sequence from 1 to 5. Turn the top (1) Baggage Train Card of your stack face up and place it next to the stack (see illustration)—this is your active Baggage Train Card.

Example: The blue player and the red player have built roads on three out of four paths of the trade hex. No settlement may be built on the central intersection (A), and no road may be built on the 3 paths (B) of the trade hex’s coast.

• On your turn, you may pay 1 (and only 1) grain to increase your wagon’s movement points by +2 for the current turn. You may do so even after already having used some or all of its MPs in the regular fashion. • Your wagon may stop and end its movement on any inter- section it moves to. Unused movement points are lost. • Your wagon must stop and end its movement whenever it moves onto the central plaza of a trade hex. • If you do not have enough unused MPs to move along a path, you may not partially move along the path—your wagon must end its movement on an intersection. 21 2.
